Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra and Rashmika Mandanna’s Mission Majnu is out on Netflix today. Sidharth is welled up with emotions and took to Instagram to share the challenges he faced during the filming process.
Sidharth wrote in a long post, “What an emotional and challenging film this has been from day 1 of the shoot. I could not have asked for a better project to explore the intricate workings of a spy. I’ve enjoyed exploring a character so intense that puts forth many shades/ disguises for you guys to witness. A truly remarkable experience in terms of character development and putting in the work to fit in the skin of the character.”
He further added, “Thank you to the whole cast and crew for this beautiful journey, a journey that is unforgettable. All the hard work comes together today on your screen. Excited for you guys to watch and experience something that I personally enjoyed!”
Rashmika Mandanna also took to Twitter and expressed about her character from Mission Majnu character Nasreen. She wrote, “A character who exhibits unconditional love & innocence. She always chooses to support her loved one & confronts him only when she sees no other way. She was a beautiful lady to play and I hope she finds a place in all your hearts.. bringing to you Nasreen from Mission Majnu.”
Directed by Shantanu Bagchi, Mission Majnu is now streaming on Netflix. Shubhra Gupta, a film critic said, the movie is “a sedate, by-the-numbers drone”. A section of the review read, “What’s nice is that the film steers clear of jingoism. A Pakistani character says that the Partition was ‘done’ by the ‘angrez’. Tariq, who is obviously Indian, is himself a product of a secular, old India: his childhood involved a gurdwara where no one went hungry, and a ‘Father Joseph’ who saw to his schooling. The line, ‘deshbhakti rooh mein hoti hai’ is like a balm in these riven, polarised times. But Mission Majnu doesn’t make enough of its potential, and of its good-looking leads. It is a sedate, by-the-numbers, drone.”
